The People of the State of New York v. Hector Gonzalez

Summary

The Court affirmed the Appellate Division’s order, holding that the denial of the defendant’s motion to suppress was properly based on the evidence before the suppression court and that the admission of nonidentification testimony was not reversible because the issue was not preserved. Justice Meyer dissented, arguing that the evidence should have been excluded as inadmissible hearsay and that the error was preserved, warranting reversal and a new trial.
